Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cognitive hope enhancing training on the victimization of female bullying victims in junior high school students of Sanandaj city (the academic year of 2013-2014). This has been a half-experimental research with a pre-test/post-test plan and a control group. For this reason, 30 pupils were randomly selected as the sample group and then randomly divided into two 15-person groups, (an experimental group and a control group). The experimental group was taken under cognitive hope enhancing training during 8 sessions (each 90 min) and one session per week, while the control group was not present. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Covariance Test) using SPSS software. The results showed that applying this program as an effective intervention reduced their victimization (p<0.05). According to the results of this study, it is suggested that cognitive hope enhancing training program be as part of an in-service training for schools counselors.
